First off I want to thank everyone here at RC Universe for all the help and great advice.

My fiancee' bought me the Super Skybolt for Christmas. After Many late nights and many long breaks I finished it. It is my second kit build. My first was a SIG Somethin' Extra, this plane was quick and easy to build. Everyone told me the Skybolt would be a lot tougher. I didn't find this to be the case, it just took more time.

Getting down to it, I installed an OS 120fs III w/pump. I installed two aileron servos and all the standard control linkages the plane weights 10lbs. I am using a 16x6 APC prop that is currently reaching 9000rpm, it should get better too. It is covered with Monokote White, Neon Green and Silver. I apologize for the picture quality the green looks lime not neon and the silver disappears, I can assure you though the plane really stands out. I installed the pilot to butter up ''Headquarters'', maybe I can get a new plane next Christmas.

The big day, 65F, 5 mph headwind, partly sunny, I do live near Seattle so there were some sprinkles too.

Takeoff was simple only a touch of right rudder and hands off on the elevator as you blaze down the runway. This plane is amazing it flies so smooth it only took a touch of down and left for hands-off flight. This helped to calm my nerves and enjoy the flight, The big O.S. really pulls this plane around well and sounds great even with the stock muffler.

In total I had 3 flights for the day and each one confirmed for me what a great plane this is. I tried all the basic aerobatics loops, rolls, Cuban 8, etc. I even tried a snap roll on an up-line which became a Lomcivak unexpectedly. I will need to practice snaps more with this plane it really snaps hard and deep on low rates I haven't tried high rates. Good thing I tried them with lots of altitude, one later turned into an inverted flat spin but the plan quickly recovered.

Landing: this was a no brainer even with choppy wind on the approach. Everyone at RC Universe said it likes to land hot. I kept the speed up and flew her to the ground, throttled off at the numbers and flare for a three point landing, breath. The 600ft runway really helps to settle in and bleed off the speed without being concerned about the approaching runway's end.
